Top 10 states with the most UFO sightings

After years of filing Freedom of Information Act requests, UFO enthusiast John Greenewald has finally uploaded 130,000 pages of declassified UFO reports from the Air Force’s Project Blue Book to his database. “Project Blue Book was based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. Between 1947 and 1969, the Air Force recorded 12,618 sightings of strange phenomena — 701 of which remain ‘unidentified.’ “According to a 1985 fact sheet from Wright-Patterson, posted online by the National Archives, the Air Force decided to discontinue UFO investigations after concluding that ‘no UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security (and) there has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as “unidentified” are extraterrestrial vehicles.’” There is nothing of 1947′s infamous Roswell, New Mexico crash in the declassified files. You don’t want to judge your team after three or four games into the season, and it’s important not to ride the roller coaster.” — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who is headed to his record sixth Super Bowl after early-season musings that he was no longer effective and should be benched.

But other incidents in Roswell are mentioned in the documents, including claims that an airman at the nearby airbase saw flashing color lights in the sky and objects that flew in circles. With the documents now on file for all to see, that will likely continue to feed conspiracy theories that the government stopped the program because it doesn’t want us to know what’s really out there. According to the fact sheet, “the National Archives has been unable to locate any documentation among” the project’s records “which discuss the 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico.” The Roswell location itself does make a few brief appearances in the files.
